Preserving Our Constitution Act of 2026

Key Points

• This bill would stop federal courts and government agencies from using or following any foreign laws, religious rules, or tribal customs. It ensures that only the U.S. Constitution and American laws are used to decide cases in the United States.
• The plan specifically targets foreign rules that treat people differently based on their gender, race, or religion. It would also block the use of foreign laws that allow forced marriages, violence against women, or punishments like whipping and stoning.
• Under this bill, judges could not enforce contracts if those contracts rely on foreign laws that go against American rights. It also prevents U.S. courts from following decisions made by foreign courts if those decisions were based on rules that violate the Constitution.
• Supporters say this is necessary to protect American liberties and ensure that no outside legal systems take root in the U.S. court system. They want to make sure that everyone in the country is protected by the same constitutional rights, like due process and equal protection.
